David Moyes says Manchester United squad lacks quality needed to win the Champions League

Bobo don dey fear

“To win the Champions League, you have to have five or six world class players,” Moyes said, ahead of the away tie against the Ukrainian champions Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday. “If you look at Bayern Munich, they have five or six nearly world-class players. Look at Barcelona, who had it in the past and Real Madridhave maybe got it now. That’s the level you have to get at to win it.
“We’ve not got that yet but what we have got is experience and several players who are in that category or close to it.”
Following their heavy Premier League defeat against Manchester Cityat the Etihad Stadium last Sunday, Moyes suggested that changes needed to be made to the United squad – and that he lacked two players who could slot straight into his first team having failed in a £100 million bid for Gareth Bale and missed out on Cesc Fabregas and Leighton Baines.
“The job when I took over was always going to be that we’d have to make changes and improve as we go along,” Moyes said.
“But I took over the champions of England.
